Must Become Member Union shop agreements re quire a worker to become a un ion member within 60 days after a collective bargaining contract is signed. Industry generally is govern ed by the Taft-Hartley labor law, which permits the union shop only if state law does not forbid it. Eighteen states have raised such bars in the form of right to work laws. Labor groups have been urg ing repeal of these statutes. At the same time, they are urging Congress to revamp Taft-Hartley in the pattern of the railway labor act. Monday's case was started by some Union Pacific Railroad workers who objected to joining the Brotherhood of Railway clerks. The Nebraska Supreme Court ruled in their favor, and against the railroad and 14 un ions, on grounds that the federal law impaired the workers' "free dom of association." Matters for Future Suits' But Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas said "the requirement for financial sup port of the collective bargaining agency by all who receive the benefits of its work in within the power of Congress under the commerce clause ..." He said freedom of expression argu ments are mattprs for a future lawsuit. George Harrison, president of the Clerk's Union, called the de cision a 'setback for anti-union forces and stooges." He said un ions will continue to work for a change in Taft-Hartley and re peal of state right to work laws Newport Garage Damaged by Fire Newport !U.R) Fire yester day afternoon raced through the body and paint shop of a garage here, causing damage estimated at $40,000. In addition to the building damage four cars were destroyed. Officials said that the fire started when sparks ignited the floor where a steel barrel was dropped. Newport firemen battled the blaze for nearly two hours, and managed to prevent the flames from spreading to otAer parts of the building. Railroad Workers To Continue Fight Against Union Shop Omaha, Neb. (U.R) Five Union Pacific Railroad workers insisted today they don't want a union "crammed down our throats" despite the Supreme Court's ruling against their anti union shop plea. The union shop principle is wrong, they said, and they will fignt it again if they have to. The railroad men confessed they have not yet decided on their next step, although one said definitely he will not join the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks. All said they are "disappoint ed" at the U. S. Supreme Court's ruling Monday that state laws forbidding union shop agree ments do not apply to contracts under the federal Railway Labor Act. ' Groundwork for Ruling The disgruntled employees are Horace Cameron, Harold Grau, William Cornell, Robert Hanson and Leonard Koch. It was their request for an in junction against the railway act's union shop provision which laid the groundwork for the Su preme Court ruling. The court, in effect, said that Nebraska's "right to work" law does not apply to them. Presumably, they must soon join the railway clerks' union or give up their jobs. The five men said they have nothing against unions, but "will not stand for union membership being crammed down our throats." Hanson said he won't join the union, no matter what happens. He has already taken a leave to establish a manufacturing business.
